Chapter 4 Installing the Cisco CSR 1000V in VMware ESXi Environments

Increasing Performance on VMWare ESXi Configurations

The VM is now configured for the Cisco CSR 1000V and is ready to boot. The Cisco CSR 1000V is booted when the VM is powered on. See the “Booting the Cisco CSR 1000V and Accessing the Console” section on page 8-1.

Note To access and configure the Cisco CSR 1000V from the serial port on the ESXi host instead of the VM console, provision the VM to use this setting before powering on the VM and booting the router. For more information, see the “Booting the Cisco CSR 1000V and Accessing the Console” section on page 8-1.
